Soplo: funiculares ... Los especiales

The first gondola train to the Bettmerhorn, built in 1975, has transported in its 20 years of operation over eight million guests. With the opening of its new 8-seater gondola train in 1996, the resort of Bettmeralp has set new standards – after all, the train is considered the most modern of its kind.

The massive glacier covering parts of the Wildstrubel chain of mountains measures about 10 square kilometers and is misnamed "Plaine Morte", which literally means "dead plain". At 3,000 metres above sea level, it may be reached from Montana by cable car.

You will reach the summit of the Eggishorn at 2926 metres above sea level, still completely overwhelmed by the splendid journey over the Fiescheralp.

Un mundo de experiencias grandiosas por encima de Zermatt, a 3.089 m s.n.m.: Su silueta se alza imponente sobre el cielo de fondo. El monte Cervino, emblema nacional, resta espectacularidad a los 37 picos de cuatro mil metros que lo circundan. El aire puro garantiza una panorámica amplia y sin obstáculos. Y el ferrocarril del Gornergrat le llevará hasta allí. Nunca estará tan cerca del cielo como en Zermatt.

The historic 1920s funicular railway is the steepest in the world to have two cabins, with a gradient of 87%, the Decauville panoramic train (with a 60 cm gauge) offers superb views of the area, and the "Minifunic" (the mini funicular railway) takes you straight up towards the sky.

The railway takes you up from the bottom station to Kreuzboden, where many lovely paths begin, a mountain trout lake competes with the blue of the sky and the children enjoy the Hohsi-Land playground.

The Lötschental has for a long time been the end of the world and so has remained wonderfully unspoiled. A mountain climbers' Eldorado opens up from the Lauchernalp onwards.

En un trayecto de 1767 metros, el teleférico Blatten - Belalp supera un desnivel de 763 metros, llevándonos a una zona que permite disfrutar de una vista de conjunto de la región entera del Aletsch.

In 1939, the first cable car between Champéry and Planachaux was built by "Téléphérique Champéry-Planachaux AG", and it was not replaced until 1987 by a new construction.

Since 1984 the Seetalhorn has been accessible via a 6-seater gondola train, which brought a tourist boom to the village of Grächen. The train climbs a stately 1,220 meters over a distance of 2,806 meters. Another cable car runs from Grächen to the Hannigalp.
